Arch Linux User Repository

While I was able to build this in a clean chroot, consider this package to be a wip.

• According to this comment, swift does need swift to build. So if you haven't previously built this package, you'll need aur/swift-bin.

• This package attempts to install only swift to /usr/lib/swift.

  • Building (5.9.2) takes about 15GB. Package is 650MB. Installed size is 2GB.
  • cmark and llvm are built, but not installed. If they are installed, space requirement increases to 20GB, package is 2GB, and installed size 7GB.
  • Above space requirements count only the build tree. Does not include space needed to download and install depends. Does not include temporary files that may have been created and deleted by the build system.
  • I don't know if everything actually works correctly. Someone who knows better would have to check. (I would use swift-bin, especially since it's already needed to build this.)

• This package does not make debug symbols. With debugging enabled, over 70GB would be required to build. I don't know package or install size because I hadn't figured out how to install at that time.

to speed up check out of the repositories, use shallow or sparse clone, e.g.:

  GITFLAGS="--depth=1" paru -S swift-language

other options to install swift are currently:

• swift-bin, which repackages tachoknights official released centos8 build: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swift-bin/. the install is quick, no hours of waiting until everything is compiled.

• latest from git, in swift-language-git. there is a binary built with github actions, but this build is not particularly stable, sometimes it uses more resources than github allows, sometimes it fails for a change upstream. the version number is taken out of the official tag on apple/swift main branch: e.g. swift-language-git-swift.DEVELOPMENT.SNAPSHOT.2020.09.28.a.r208.g6651f6e55d4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. so this one is the development tag from sep 28 + 208 commits, the commit hash is g6651f: aur - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swift-language-git. gh-actions: https://github.com/soloturn/swift-aur/releases/tag/latest

there was an 5.4.1 binary build, native arch, by fanjiang, built on GCE: https://github.com/ProfFan/swift-aur/releases

yeah, I think I'm getting the same error as aavci: Foundation/NSData.swift:19:8: error: cannot load underlying module for 'Dispatch' import Dispatch ^ [125/315] CompileC: CoreFoundation/Parsing.subproj/CFXMLParser.c ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. utils/build-script: fatal error: command terminated with a non-zero exit status 1, aborting which is annoying because it takes *forever* to build and then exit at this point.

Please help, I get the following error when trying to build: + mkdir -p /tmp/yaourt-tmp-aavci/aur-swift/src/build/Ninja-ReleaseAssert + env HOST_VARIABLE_linux_x86_64__SWIFT_BENCHMARK_TARGETS= HOST_VARIABLE_linux_x86_64__SWIFT_RUN_BENCHMARK_TARGETS= HOST_VARIABLE_linux_x86_64__SWIFT_SDKS=LINUX HOST_VARIABLE_linux_x86_64__SWIFT_STDLIB_TARGETS=swift-test-stdlib-linux-x86_64 HOST_VARIABLE_linux_x86_64__SWIFT_TEST_TARGETS= /tmp/yaourt-tmp-aavci/aur-swift/src/swift/utils/build-script-impl --workspace /tmp/yaourt-tmp-aavci/aur-swift/src --build-dir /tmp/yaourt-tmp-aavci/aur-swift/src/build/Ninja-ReleaseAssert --install-prefix /usr --host-target linux-x86_64 --stdlib-deployment-targets linux-x86_64 --host-cc /usr/bin/clang --host-cxx /usr/bin/clang++ --darwin-xcrun-toolchain default --darwin-deployment-version-osx=10.9 --darwin-deployment-version-ios=7.0 --darwin-deployment-version-tvos=9.0 --darwin-deployment-version-watchos=2.0 --cmake /usr/bin/cmake --cmark-build-type Release --llvm-build-type Release --swift-build-type Release --swift-stdlib-build-type Release --lldb-build-type Release --foundation-build-type Release --libdispatch-build-type Release --xctest-build-type Release --llvm-enable-assertions true --swift-enable-assertions true --swift-stdlib-enable-assertions true --swift-analyze-code-coverage false --cmake-generator Ninja --build-jobs 4 '--common-cmake-options=-G Ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:PATH=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:PATH=/usr/bin/clang++' --build-args=-j4 --build-stdlib-deployment-targets all --ninja-bin=/usr/bin/ninja --skip-build-playgroundlogger --skip-build-playgroundsupport --build-swift-dynamic-stdlib --build-swift-dynamic-sdk-overlay --skip-build-ios-device --skip-build-ios-simulator --skip-build-tvos-device --skip-build-tvos-simulator --skip-build-watchos-device --skip-build-watchos-simulator --skip-build-android --skip-test-swift --skip-test-cmark --skip-test-lldb --skip-test-llbuild --skip-test-swiftpm --skip-test-xctest --skip-test-foundation --skip-test-libdispatch --skip-test-playgroundlogger --skip-test-playgroundsupport --skip-test-linux --skip-test-freebsd --skip-test-cygwin --skip-test-osx --skip-test-ios-host --skip-test-ios-simulator --skip-test-tvos-host --skip-test-tvos-simulator --skip-test-watchos-host --skip-test-watchos-simulator --skip-test-android-host --skip-test-benchmarks --skip-test-optimized --android-deploy-device-path /data/local/tmp --llvm-lit-args=-sv the --build-dir option is required Usage: build-script-impl [--help|-h] [ --SETTING=VALUE | --SETTING VALUE | --SETTING ]* Available settings.

Note: the "--release" option creates a pre-packaged combination of settings used by the buildbot. Cross-compiling Swift host tools When building cross-compiled tools, it first builds for the native build host machine. Then it proceeds to build the specified cross-compile targets. It currently builds the requested variants of stdlib each time around, so once for the native build, then again each time for the cross-compile tool targets. When installing cross-compiled tools, it first installs each target arch into a separate subdirectory under install-destdir, since you can cross-compile for multiple targets at the same time. It then runs recursive-lipo to produce fat binaries by merging the cross-compiled targets, installing the merged result into the expected location of install-destdir. After that, any remaining steps to extract dsyms and create an installable package operates on install-destdir as normal. utils/build-script: fatal error: command terminated with a non-zero exit status 1, aborting ==> HATA: build() içinde bir hata oluştu.

It is assumed that base-devel is installed before building any AUR packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites Therefore, AUR packages are not required to add any of those to their PKGBUILD

Not exactly Swift-specific, but still: makedepends += autoconf automake patch May be helpful for those who try to build it on freshly installed systems. Missing automake results in a particularly confusing error message: Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326.

Those are just warnings; to get the actual error, you may have to scroll back further in the build output / log.
